Abstract

The dynamic development of the automotive industry has had its impact on vehicles used for work in fields, too. The vehicles move with increasingly higher speeds and are becoming heavier as well. Con- sequently, they need new efficient braking systems to stop them. This in turn requires numerous tests aimed at optimising the composition of brake shoes. Various methods are used in tests and, ideally, the tests would be performed on a real-life object. However, it is seldom possible. Laboratory tests strive at simulating the object of research but usually they can be merely an imitation of the real thing. A lot of scientists are currently working on simulation research whose main advantage is low cost and practically unlimited possibilities of altering its conditions. This article presents a new research method which applies Ball-Cratering contact. In order to plan the experiment properly Taguchi method of process optimisation was used. To verify the correctness of the method, preliminary tests were conducted in which the values of friction coefficient and abrasive wear coefficient were calculated.
